Thanks, you were correct...cvs could not find that file. This was probably related to multiple versions of cvs (as you suggested). The resolution was to uninstall CVSNT, clean up the PATH, and reinstall CVSNT. -----Original Message----- From: Boyd Meier [mailto:bmeier at acornsys.com] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 4:26 PM To: Dave Mello; cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: RE: [Cvsnt] Can't use ntserver protocol from server or client It sounds like the cvs executable can't find the ntserver_protocol.dll. I had this problem once when I had multiple versions of cvs on my system, and the wrong one was being found. So it could be a PATH problem on the server. Check your server cvs version to make sure you're running what you think you should be, and search for the dll.

The WinCVS 1.3.6.1 beta 6 error is this: cvs checkout CVSROOT (in directory C:\) cvs [checkout aborted]: unrecognized auth response from servername: cvs [authserver aborted]: bad auth protocol start: BEGIN NTSERVER But the server reports from the command line: C:\>cvs -d :ntserver:servername:d:/cvs co CVSROOT cvs [checkout aborted]: the :ntserver: access method is not supported by this port of CVS Please help if you can. More details are in my first message.... Thanks! -----Original Message----- From: Dave Mello [mailto:DMello at arrayinc.com] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 2:02 PM To: 'cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook' Subject: [Cvsnt] Can't use ntserver protocol from server or client Hello. I just installed CVSWEBNT 1.93.2.2 on the same server where I was running cvsnt 1.11.1.3 (Build 57a). The server is running W2K Server with SP2 and IIS 5.0 in a domain. I can't find any info on the following error, which I get from the command line on the server itself and from WinCVS 1.3 beta 6 running on another workstation: C:\>cvs -d :ntserver:servername:d:/cvs co CVSROOT cvs [checkout aborted]: the :ntserver: access method is not supported by this port of CVS This error started after I attempted to install CVSWEBNT. When I was ready to test the URL, I ran into an error. Before troubleshooting CVSWEB, I double-checked that CVSNT itself was still functional, and found that it was not. I did find some threads about a similar error related to pserver, but not ntserver. I've reinstalled CVSNT initialized a new repository on the server, and reinstalled WinCVS 1.3 beta 6 on my workstation with no change in the error message. I've always referred to http://www.devguy.com/fp/cfgmgmt/cvs/cvs_admin_nt.htm for instructions, along with this mailing list. The only way I can access the repository now, as a cvs client, is by running cvs commands from the server using the option -d :local:d:\cvs. That works, and I successfully modified a file under CVSROOT and checked it in. But why does ntserver fail? Has anyone seen this before?
